Social and political awareness has found a voice. That voice is manifesting itself in the form of a movement that is taking aggressive action against those that they feel are committing cries of racism. Watching social media posts for what is believed to be insensitive, against the dignity of people because of race, religion or gender is how Woke Twitter is taking a stand against crimes of dignity.

Out of Cape Town South Africa three such perpetrators have been identified. The issue for some is how this new movement is causing irreparable harm to people like the three identified in the real world. People are losing their jobs, their form of self support and their viable way to feed their families.

While any are beginning to take notice of this new movement, it does leave some questions unanswered. Legal analysts, like Brenda Wardle worry about the implications that this movement will have on basic human dignity and rights. She has spent many years aiding the less fortunate in protecting their rights in the workforce, and the community as a whole.

She states that while Woke Twitter is a new idea and does bring to light many racist and derogatory remarks that should not be tolerated in any situation, she also feels that these individuals, in defending those who have been victims are further dehumanizing them. She sites some statements that likens these victims to monkeys in a jungle.

Another aspect of grave concern is the repercussions on the children of those accused. One such child was receiving threatening phone calls because of posts her mother had made. Ms. Wardle, and other activists do not feel that this is the right thing to do. Te best way to deal with the issue of racism is not to terrorize young children.

The key is that while people do have the right to state their own opinion, it should not take precedence to others rights and opinions. The Woke Twitter community feel that more whites in South Africa need to take a stand and speak out on the injustices that are happening all around them.

The online community involved in this situation seems to only offer the advice of staying aware of what is happening. This does not address the racist remarks, nor who gets to make the determination if they are racist at all. Will harmony someday ensue? It will take time to know for sure.

Thor Halvorssen is president of the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) based out of New York City. Halvorssen, a Venezuelan-Norwegian, is a human rights advocate and film producer who started the foundation in 2005. He calls himself a “classical liberal” with no interest in politics. His goal is to simply dethrone the dictators he grew up hating because of his heritage. He began advocating human rights in London during 1989, against the South African apartheid. Nowadays, he often expresses his thoughts and opinions regarding different issues to print and television news outlets including Forbes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, NPR, TIME Magazine, The Daily Telegraph and GQ, as well as Al-Jazeera, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, BBC, HBO and many more.

Recently, American rapper Nicki Minaj traveled to Angola to perform at a Christmas concert that was organized by the state-owned telecom company, Unitel. Many, including Halvorssen and George Ayittey, who heads the Free Africa Foundation, were critical of her performance in a country that is being unjustly ruled by tyrant José Eduardo dos Santos. The leader allegedly has been amassing a fortune illegally since 1979 while ruling a country whose citizens are living in deep poverty. Halvorssen and Ayittey took the time to point out the hypocrisy in Minaj’s decision to travel and perform in Angola. Though often outspoken about injustices regarding race in the United States, Nicki Minaj She was paid $2 million (in US dollars) of Angolan taxpayer money to perform in a place where one-third of the population lives on less than two US dollars a day.

While it is hard to place blame on celebrities like Minaj for their participation in events like this, their effect on the public image and perception abroad of dictators like this has to be acknowledged. Halvorssen has done this and continues to speak out against the horrible injustices committed by leaders like dos Santos. Having created numerous other non-profits as well, he is becoming the face of a new sort of global rights movement. For him, it is all about using 21st century means (not only print and TV, but Twitter and YouTube as well) to gain equality and more advocacy for human rights without focusing on himself or politics.

George Soros recently spoke in Sri Lanka at an economic forum and warned that the world was at risk of a similar crisis to that of 2008s. Soros is famously known for forcing the pound out of the mechanism in 1992. His remarks came after China suspended its benchmark CSI 300 stock index after just fifteen minutes of trading. The first time that day the market leapt 5% triggering a 15 minute circuit breaker. When fixed the market dropped another 2% forcing them to close the trade for the day. This was the second time in a week. According to an article in business, Insider, http://www.businessinsider.com.au/george-soros-markets-remind-me-of-2008-financial-crisis-2016-1 the halting of the market was done under the new regulations that were designed to prevent panic selling.

The Guardian, Business, Economics http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jan/07/global-markets-turmoil-echoes-2008-financial-crisis-warns-george-soros George Soros is quoted saying that China had serious adjustment problem. His comparison of the current scenario indeed would be taken seriously based on his expertise and previous experience. Many financial experts, however, seems not to agree with his view. Mark Ostwald in the same article is quoted to have said that Soros parallel comparison of the two crisis would “only serve to cast a long shadow” over the markets. The crisis is not parallel to 2008. This is because there is no reckless lending, wayward blindness to credit sector risk, irresponsible supervision and bad regulations of the market.

CNBC Economy (http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/07/soros-its-the-2008-crisis-all-over-again.html ) also mention U.S. stocks index futures had sharp lower opens. The focus is however mostly in China. Analyst have shown concern over Chinese market regulators who seems to have no grasp of the market. The circuit breakers seem not to be of much help to them. There have been new rules though by the Chin securities regulator, the number of shares that can be sold by major shareholders.

George Soros had warned of a similar catastrophe back in 2011, but it never came to pass. His worries cannot be ignored. Likewise, investors must be cautious moving ahead.

No two crisis are the same. An article in NASDAQ website (news) http://www.nasdaq.com/article/why-george-soros-is-wrong-when-he-says-this-is-like-2008-cm562380, investors, should be hopeful. The present crisis has been observed for a long period and this period of turmoil is of no shock. What causes huge reactions in the market sometimes is the shock. 1998 was a perfect scenario when there was a huge reaction causing a market to a crisis. All this could also be as a result of the strengthening dollar or weakness in China and other emerging markets.

2016 could be more close to 1998 than it is to 2008. However bad the current scenario is, one can almost be sure that it will not be like the previous scenario. The current crisis has been detected and is being observed carefully and for that reason, past mistakes are not likely to be repeated.
